Zhao Yong coughed twice in embarrassment. Although he had not tasted meat for more than a month, he was not a hungry ghost. Besides, he was sick now. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "I remember Rou'er said, Qing, you have This young brother first served in the frontier army, where is he now?"
"Brother Gu has been favored by the king, and now he is serving in Handan and working in Beiying." Meng Rou replied truthfully.
Zhao Yong nodded and continued: "Let him train in the military camp. I will have other plans for him then."
Meng Rou stood up and bowed politely: "I would like to express my gratitude to the king on behalf of my brother Gu. I'm sorry that the king is sorry."
Zhao Yong nodded slightly, gently took the beauty's slender waist, and carried her to the cave.
It was the summer season, but the weather seemed a bit cool. Bian Que's decoction may have been filled with sleep-aid drugs. Zhao Yong felt dizzy at this time and unconsciously fell asleep with Meng Rou in his arms.

Qin's response was faster than Zhao's monarchs and ministers expected. The next day, Qin and Zhao hit it off and reached a deal. Fifty thousand shi of grain were transported from the western border of Zhao State to the disaster area.
Two days later, envoys from Yan State entered Handan, and the two countries discussed the matter of jointly conquering Qi.
The Qi State seems to be really in jail at this moment. The Qi Army was defeated by the Song Army in two battles in a row. The Song Army defeated the two cities of Pi and Xinyi all the way. Now the Song Army has a faint tendency to approach the north.
The three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Zhongshan took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Zhongshan cooperated with the State of Zhao to encircle Qi's Gaotang, and the State of Yan besieged Qi's Rao'an (now the old county of Yanshan, Hebei).
Qi could not withstand the pressure of the four countries, so it asked Chu for help.
King Xiong Huai of Chu ordered Yin Zhaoyang to lead his army north to aid Qi. The Chu and Song armies fought in Yongyi. (50 miles east of present-day Pengcheng County)
Under pressure, the Song State instigated the Yue State to attack Chu.
King Wujiang of Yue saw an opportunity for revenge and personally led 50,000 troops to fight against Chu at Zhaoguan.
The Qin State continued to attack the Yin and Jin Dynasties of Wei State, and the combined forces of Wei and Han met the Qin Army.
A flood triggered a melee among the nations, and the entire land of China once again became a mess.
And Hu Di, thousands of miles away, seems to be brewing a new round of storm.
…
Hu Di, Loufan Wang Ting. (Today's Baode, Shanxi)
In the slightly dark central king's tent, Wang Jibo, the upstairs fan, sat at the top, watching with fiery eyes a group of beautiful girls singing and dancing in front of them. (Loufan, like Zhongshan, is a branch of the Di people, and takes the surname Ji from the Zhou family.)
They were all dressed up in all kinds of strange ways, and they were all beautiful girls kidnapped from various ethnic groups. Some of them clearly had faces from the Central Plains, and there were even blue-eyed blond women from Xirong and Guifang who had come all the way.
Wearing thin little clothes, they slowly approached the host and distinguished guests to the rhythm of the unique drum music, swaying their hips, rotating their bodies, and showing off their most tempting parts to a few gorgeously dressed old guys. appreciate.
"Friends who have come from afar, I am honored to drink wine with you here again." After Ji Bo said this, he drank the strong wine in his hand.
A few big barbarians on the right next to Lou Fan, whose attire was slightly different from Lou Fan's, stood up in a hurry and said compliments: "Great King Lou Fan! My king often praises you, saying that your enthusiasm warms people's hearts like the scorching sun in winter. You His body is as unstoppable as a fierce horse on the grassland!"
After hearing this, Ji Bo laughed and replied: "Hahaha! If you friends like that dancing girl, I will give it to you!"
After hearing Ji Bo's words, the leader Lin Hu bowed deeply to Ji Bo: "I dare not be rude in front of the great King Lou Fan."
"Send blessings to my old friend King Linhu on my behalf." Ji Bo nodded slightly and replied.
Ji Bo saw that Messenger Lin Hu had no intention of choosing beautiful girls for fun and did not force them, so he waved his hand to signal the girls to disperse.
The Prime Minister of Loufan State, Bong Yakuto, stood up, faced Messenger Linhu across from him and held his chest with one hand, saying, "Dear Ambassador Linhu, I wonder why you all came to my Royal Court in Loufan this time?"
Lin Hu, the leader of the envoy, returned to Yakutto and said: "Dear Lord Yakutto, in order to thank Lou Fan for joining me, Lin Hu, in conquering the Kingdom of Qin, my king specially ordered his servants to send hundreds of good women and thousands of cattle and horses from the Central Plains."
Qin was defeated by Qi at Sangqiu. Although the Central Plains countries did not have time to attack Qin due to various reasons, the Hu people did not have that worry. Especially the Linhu and Loufan tribes took advantage of Zhao and conquered it in one fell swoop. Qin's weakly defended northern border plundered a large number of people and food.
"I am very lucky to be with the Linhu warriors. But..." Yakuto glanced back at Ji Bo, who was looking up, and saw the latter nodded slightly, then continued: "Does King Linhu have nothing else to ask for?"
After hearing this, Messenger Lin Hu saluted Ji Bo again: "My king respects the great King Loufan for his bravery and has nothing else to ask for."
"However, my king heard that Zhao State suffered from floods today, and that King Zhao was at war with Qi State, so my king specially invited the great King Loufan to join the hunt for Zhao State."
"Oh?" Ji Bo straightened up, a bright light flashing faintly in his narrow vertical eyes. "The King of Zhao has just formed an alliance with my clan and borrowed the passage from us. The goods trade has not breached the contract. I am afraid it is not appropriate for us to hunt Zhao..."
"The great King Loufan, your kindness is as generous as the earth." Messenger Lin Hu first praised Ji Bo, and then slowly argued: "But the Zhao people are not the same clan as me, and the Zhao people are not the same as my clan. There have always been many grievances, but today they borrowed Taoism from me and gave me gifts, and borrowing a Chinese saying is just "to divert trouble to the east." Even if the great King Loufan does not hunt Zhao today, he will suffer the same in the future. Its system.”
After that, envoy Lin Hu continued to seduce: "Chinese women are soft and delicious, and Zhao girls are the best among them. In the past, you asked Zhao for a princess, but Zhao people rudely refused. Zhao people are rude. First of all, it is not inappropriate for the great King Loufan to punish him a little now."
Although this is a nonsense reason, Ji Bo often prides himself on being the horse king of the prairie. Now Ji Bo is over sixty years old. It is said that he can eat half a sheep in one meal. He has many women at night, especially Xia. Women, just do what they want, it's just an excuse.
Messenger Lin Hu continued: "Autumn is coming soon, and after autumn will be the cold winter. By then, the water and grass will wither, and countless cattle and sheep will be killed and injured. Without adequate preparations, our two tribes may not be able to survive."
When Lin Huren said this, Ji Bo was already a little moved.
Prime Minister Yakuto stood up and interrupted: "My clan will form an alliance with Zhao. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to rebel again at this time. If a war breaks out, the trade between our clan and Zhao will be interrupted. In my opinion, it is better to borrow money from Zhao again." Tao attacks Qin..."
"Qin's army is strong, Qin has not caused floods, and now it has cleared Yiqu and Quanrong in the west. It is even more inappropriate to attack Qin at this time. Zhao's army is weak, and now it has suffered from disasters. It happens that it starts a war with Qi, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I The king wants to use me, Lin Hujiaqi, as the forerunner of the great King Loufan, and our two clans will work together to sweep away the Zhao region. If we can capture Daiwang City, it will be the starting point for our two clans to go south!"
